Not as ezy as u might think.....

So YES, chompin at the bit to get out on the road here!!!! But deciding what to take & what not to take is not always that easy. We might not even come back, we don't know yet as nothing is written in stone & because we don't have too if we don't wanna!!! So going thru things lately & having to downsize yet more than I already have living in a 5th wheel just gets very confusing sometimes. Over time one accumulates things, there is no way around that & I have grown quite attached to a couple of my 'things'....granted they are ONLY things and in the grand scheme of things they don't really matter, maybe I should just give them all away like the Native Americans do...again, just not sure! Back to packing the camper, granted it IS bigger than the one we live in now, but we have to be very careful about how much weight we pack as that is a big factor! Our older f150 will only pull so much without stressing out the engine & one thing we don't wanna do is have to buy another truck, cuz we just can't afford that!! So most everything I pack has to have multiple uses. Can't pack ALL my music & ALL our movies, cuz then, well you know... Our movie collection is one of our habits we just can't stop LOL. So with more room in the new camper it makes me think, oh sure I have room for that...but oh wait, what about the weight of said stuff??!!! So yes it really isn't as easy as one might think. What if we are out there & dangit if we didn't need this or that that I should have packed & my gut told me to, but alas the weight issue I did not!!! Did you follow that??? The nicer the weather gets, the more I am ready to hit that road...but not yet, cuz budgets are aleady fixed according to hubby's job....grrr!!! He was blessed in the fact they actually gave him all the "vacation" time he asked for...surprise surprise! A lot of stuff I can't even pack or take over there until like the day before or the morning before we leave....so so much for pre-paring huh??!!! As I stated before...it's not as ezy as you might think!!! Later all....blessings!!
